Jake, Banished Farms in Utah

Jake joins us from his cannabis and hemp farm in Utah and we immediately start off with a story that I know you can relate too. Whether it’s you, or someone you know, I’m positive there is someone in your life that is using cannabis for pain relief instead of narcotics. Maybe you even started growing cannabis for that exact reason. That’s the exact reason Jake started growing, and even started helping others provide good, clean medicine for themselves. While Jake started off growing cannabis, he’s got quite a massive hemp farm with between 30000 and 40000 hemp plants that he’s getting ready to plant for this summer harvest. There’s a lot of passion behind Jake’s drive, working 16-20 hours a day to build a farm and also help people in their grow rooms as well! Our first grow tip comes in around 12 minutes. Jake advises to get into your grow rooms often and stay on top of problems. The moment you see the sign of an issue, start to address it before it gets out of hand. Listen in to hear what Jake’s first infestation looked like and how he addressed it. Jake grows in hydro on a regular basis, so his tip for overall plant health is even more important. Pay attention to your root system because happy roots equals happy fruits. Soil is a bit more forgiving than in hydro, but the adage is the same. If you don’t have a good, healthy root system you will not have good, healthy buds. (13 minute mark) Check in around 14:30 for Jake’s tips for improving the yield you achieve off a single plant. You know I’m a big fan of Jake’s solution here, as is our sponsor for the show. Listen up to know exactly what Jake suggests! Around the 17 minute mark, Jake dives deep into having success with your cloning process and the right way to keep the machine clean to have the most successful process.
